The hit show will catapult back onto our telly screens on Monday, January 12th.

Not only this, but ITV has also revealed that the third series will be the longest ever.

This news follows on from this summer’s series which was the most watched since 2022.

Fans have already reacted to the exciting news of the show’s comeback.

One person on X said: “Absolute scenes incoming, I’m already screaming!!”

This comes as The Sun continues to reveal the former Islanders who are poised to be in the lineup for the brand new series.

Earlier this week, we revealed football hunk Scott van‑der‑Sluis is set to return to Love Island for its All Stars series.

We also revealed that Lucy Quinn, 21, who entered the twelfth series of Love Island on day 27 as part of the Casa Amor twist, is in talks for the new All Stars series.

Belle Hassan, who first appeared on Love Island alongside the likes of Molly-Mae Hague and Maura Higgins in 2019, has been confirmed and has already filmed her entrance video, we revealed earlier this week.

Millie Court, 29, who split from her former Love Island co-star Liam Reardon, 26, for the second time in September, is also due to appear on the hit series in January.

Sean Stone, 26, who appeared on the show back in 2024, is also rumoured to be joining the cast of All Stars after he dropped a huge hint he had signed up for the show.

Remell Mullins also teased he might be heading back into the villa when he fuelled comeback rumours on TikTok after sharing a video of himself with the caption: “They don’t realise the comeback is always harder than the setback.

“They counted you out …now watch.”

Earlier this month, The Sun revealed a selection of Love Island stars who definitely won’t be heading into the All Stars villa.

AS season three of the ITV2 spin-off looms, these islanders could be dusting off their bikinis in preparation for round two.

Millie Court

Despite winning the show in 2021, Millie Court could be hoping second time is the charm.

She won alongside Liam Reardon, before the couple split in 2022 and got back together a year later.

While it seemed the couple were going strong this time around, they split for a second time earlier this year.

In October, a source told The Sun that Millie had been approached by Love Island bosses.

Alima Gagigo and Remell Mullins

They may be fresh out of the Love Island villa, but these exes are said to be heading back in already.

Alima and Remell appeared on the regular Love Island earlier this year, with things ending sour between them.

However, they could be in for a shock after a source told The Sun that they are both being lined up for All Stars.

They said: “Alima and Remell had a bumpy time in the villa after starting off strong and then his head got turned, but now they are set to come face to face again as both are in the mix to enter the All Stars villa.

At the moment the starting line up isn’t finalised, so it’s not clear who will be an OG and who will be a bombshell, but it will be super awkward for the pair to be sharing a roof again.”

Ronnie Vint

Ronnie could be vying for Casey O’Gorman’s Love Island record as he’s in talks to enter the villa for a third time.

Despite previously appearing on All Stars, where he reunited with ex Harriot Blackmore, producers are said to be curious to see what Ronnie is like without his ex.

A source said of the footballer: “He makes good TV and ITV are keen to see what he’d be like on the show without Harriett. He’ll have girls fighting over him – again!”

Harrison Solomon

Another newly single star who could be heading into the villa is the self-proclaimed “young bull” Harrison.

The Derby-born star caused quite the stir during the last season of the show, which saw him give an emotional goodbye and leave the villa to be with Lauren Wood.

But now the pair have split, and Harrison isn’t one to turn down the opportunity, said a source.

“The break-up is still very fresh, but Harrison knows that there is a limited window to take these opportunities and he is keen for another go in the villa,” they explained.

“He and Lauren didn’t work out, but who knows, perhaps she will return to the villa too and they will give things another go?”

Whitney Adebayo

After a turbulent legal battle with her show ex Lochan Nowacki following their split earlier this year, Whitney could also make a TV appearance.

A source said: “Her split from Lochan has become one of the nastiest in the show’s history. So when Love Island bosses reached out about returning for All Stars she thought why not.”

The Sun revealed that stars such as Gabby Allen and Lucinda Stratford won’t be in the new series.

A source explained that UK islanders who took part in Love Island: The Games won’t be able to do All Stars, due to being on TV so recently.

The second season of Love Island: The Games aired in September.

A source told The Sun: “Because Love Island Games S2 broadcast so recently – especially on UK TV – ITV bosses don’t want viewers to get ‘cast fatigue’ by seeing the same old faces pop up on All Stars 3.

“So the idea is that if an Islander appeared on Games series 2, they probably won’t be back on ITV in January.”
